Default Corvette Expo Spring 2013 Coverage

Set up day at the Corvette Expo in Tennessee today! Typical expo weather, drove through snow to get there and it was cooooold. The only thing missing was the lake wind off the water at Chilhowee park

Here are a couple of quick pics.





We brought parts for the first time since the switch from Knoxville, already moved some stuff today, hoping for two good days!



I'll have tons of pictures up tomorrow night, be sure and stay tuned! I'll be posting some live pictures tomorrow and Saturday via twitter and instagram @jdsmotorsports

I may even upload a couple more tonight I took with my camera, but don't worry, the batteries are charged up on the ole' Nikon, the real pictures are still to come!

Sorry for the delay! The new photobucket really threw my photo uploading process in the ditch so I had to reinvent my process so to speak. Anyway I have Saturday's pictures uploaded, just a few because of the rain. However I have 300 uploading right now from Friday so stay tuned!

To see all of my coverage and photos from Saturday CLICK HERE

Here are a few of my favorites.

I didn't see much of the auction. Didn't look like there were many interesting cars there though. That's pretty good money for there for that 69 tri-power car.

We had great Expo.The weather was not good, but a lot of the vendors are inside and some folks came to buy.!

I planned and lead the Friday night cruise and we had close to 100 cars in it. I hope all those that participated had a good time.

That's not bad at all for the economy and the size of the event
